Yes, George, I understand that. What I'm really fishing around for is the
restriction on totally blind people to perform the steps needed to recover
and/or take the mirror of the hard drive in the first place. In addition, I'm
really asking, with backup and restore, where are the limitations in putting
back your disk as it was?
Does this make sense?

Hi Carol,
Let me try to explain.
Norton Ghost takes what can only be described as a mirror or your hard drive
at the point you produce the "Ghost" copy.
You can then take a completely empty hard drive, and copy this "Ghost" on to
that drive, and it will be exactly the same as the drive it was copied from in
every way.
There is however one caveat to add. The new disk drive will obviously have a
different serial number, even if it is of the same make and model. That may
cause some software to require to be re-activated in some way shape or form.
JAWS being the obvious contender, and most likely Windows XP as well.
George.

OK, so having re-installed Windows via the normal means and your own personal
data, are you saying that you were able to restore programmes you'd installed
from backup, rather than putting them in from scratch?
Sorry if my understanding is a bit dim on this.

Hi Carol
The machine never crashed it was just cluttered and little irritations had
started to happen so I did a full back up onto my second drive in 2 sections.
The data first and then everything else. The data I would need but the rest was
for insurance as I'd never done a re-install before. I reformatted my C drive
and re-installed Win XP and all my applications. Then I did the data. Back-ups
and restore of the data were done in Windows so my Supernova was operational
all the time. I don't know what Ghost does that the WinXP back up facility
doesn't do except for some advanced stuff I wouldn't understand anyway. So my
copy of Ghost stays where it is, in the cupboard.

Roger,
So you're saying you re-installed Windows, then did an XP backup. Then,
you crashed . . . or what!
I can see you could re-install anything if you hadn't crashed badly but,
if you can't get into the system, what then?

I do all my backups using the Windows XP facility and it works in
Windows so screen readers are fully functional. I have done full copies of my
hard drives when I did a clean re-install and lost absolutely nothing. I do in
fact have a copy of Ghost and just do not like it.

Hi,
Can you tell me off list just how you work the program?
And what version you are using.
